Cui Hongyu's face turned red from his sudden move.
She shouted with a shy look, "Husband, what are you doing? Put me down quickly."
Chen Qiaoer next to her was so happy that she clapped her hands and said, "Hug her up high and kiss her too."
Chen Xiaobei originally wanted to spin a few more times, but Cui Hongyu struggled desperately and had to put her down.
Chen Xiaobei immediately leaned in for a kiss, but Cui Hongyu still tilted his head and avoided it, "Husband, Qiao'er, Qiao'er."
Only then did Chen Xiaobei come to his senses. Yes, Chen Qiaoer was still watching from the side.
Then he rubbed the back of his head sheepishly.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I just want to be happy. I just want to be happy."
Cui Hongyu looked at him in surprise, "Husband, what happened?"
"Hongyu, do you know, those ginseng were sold for a total of five taels of silver."
This was obviously what Cui Hongyu expected. But seeing Chen Xiaobei so excited, she also had a smile on her face. After all, this was a very large income and worthy of celebration.
After Chen Xiaobei finished speaking, he reached out and took out the five coins from his pocket and handed it to Cui Hongyu's hand.
Cui Hongyu looked at Chen Xiaobei in confusion, "Husband, what do you mean?"
Chen Xiaobei put away the smile on his face, patted the coins gently, and said emotionally, "Hongyu, from now on, you will take care of the money in our house, and I will just make money, okay?"
Cui Hongyu waved her hands repeatedly, "No, no, no, husband, there is no reason for a woman to run a house. It's up to you to take care of it."
Chen Xiaobei held Cui Hongyu's shoulders with both hands, stared into her eyes, and said seriously, "I say yes, and that's it."
"But, husband, this..."
Chen Xiaobei pretended to be relaxed and waved his hand, "Oh, managing money is too troublesome. I don't want to worry about it."
"Besides, if you keep the money in my hands, it will be spent in a few days."
After saying that, he turned to look at Chen Qiaoer.
"Qiao'er, have you helped your sister-in-law with any work today?"
When Chen Qiaoer saw that her brother finally spoke to her, she immediately laughed, "Brother, Qiaoer and sister-in-law, watered the vegetable field behind and cooked rice porridge."
Cui Hongyu also came forward and touched Chen Qiaoer's head affectionately, "Qiaoer is so good."
"Husband, you are tired. You have a rest first. We will eat later."
Watching Cui Hongyu going to work in the kitchen, and Chen Qiaoer jumping up and down behind him, Chen Xiaobei suddenly felt warm in his heart. This scene was so heartwarming, and he wished that such days could last forever.
Lunch was still rice porridge. While drinking rice porridge, Cui Hongyu spoke again, "Husband, now that we have more money, we should tidy up this house."
Hearing this, Chen Xiaobei felt very emotional, yes, his family was living in poverty, it was time to get some decent property.
"Okay, then it's up to you. Tell us what we should do first."
Cui Hongyu frowned and thought for a while, "Let's tidy up these rooms first. I see that some of the back walls of the houses have been severely washed away by rain, and the roofs need to be repaired, otherwise I may not be able to survive this summer. "
"In addition, the courtyard wall needs to be raised a bit, so we can't just jump in."
Cui Hongyu's words made Chen Xiaobei convinced. Thinking about it, it was indeed true. Chen Ermao and the others easily climbed over the wall that day.
"Well, if you think the money can be used now, I will go find a craftsman tomorrow."
The reason why we postponed the matter until tomorrow is because this afternoon, Chen Xiaobei still wanted to go into the mountains.
There are two things to do when entering the mountain. One is to search around the mountain temple to see if there are any new discoveries. The other is to search where the pheasants fly to see if there is any trace of the pheasants.
After lunch, Chen Xiaobei took a brief rest and then went into the mountains. Cui Hongyu still wanted to go with him, but he used the same reason to persuade him.
Cui Hongyu looked at him helplessly, "Sir, I know all the medicinal materials on the mountain. If I go with you, we might find more."
Chen Xiaobei nodded, his tone still firm, "You are right, but the mountain is too dangerous, you can't go there."
"Let's do this. After I go up the mountain, I will pick a few more wild grasses. When the wild fruits come back, you can see which ones can be sold for money, and then I will go back and pick them."
"So now you just stay at home peacefully."
Seeing that he could not convince the other party, Cui Hongyu had no choice but to nod and agree.
But there was a hint of sweetness in her heart.
Cui Xiaobei went to the foot of the mountain and first looked for traces of the pheasant according to the approximate location in his memory.
But looking for traces of pheasants is not that simple. After searching around, nothing was found. Chen Xiaobei couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. He just turned around and walked back. As soon as he took a step, he suddenly felt that his feet slipped and almost fell.
Tnd what?
Chen Xiaobei couldn't help but muttered.
Then look at the bottom of the foot, which is actually a large puddle of feces.
"Pheasant droppings." Chen Xiaobei immediately raised his eyebrows.
He walked further and searched for a few more piles of dung, and finally found a clue, and he became excited.
It seems that this should be a new habitat for pheasants.
In addition, looking at the feces, Chen Xiaobei had another thought in his mind.
He remembered that when he came back, he saw Chen Qiaoer digging a hole in the vegetable field to bury poop.
The pheasant habitat I discovered earlier also contained a lot of chicken droppings.
If you take those chicken droppings back yourself. Not to mention the little vegetables I have, dozens of acres of land are enough.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but get excited. Why didn't I think of this at the time?
Taking advantage of a little excitement, Chen Xiaobei quickly turned around and ran towards the mountain temple.
There is a saying that birds die for wealth and humans die for food. With a new goal in life, Chen Xiaobei became bolder. After arriving at the mountain temple, he did not give up and continued walking uphill for a while.
Until he found a dead sheep. Except for a little bit of remaining fur and the entire skeleton, which could probably be seen as a sheep, most of it had been eaten clean.
This frightened him. It seemed that there was really a beast on this mountain.
He stepped forward to examine it carefully and found that the bones had been weathered and shattered at the slightest touch. It seemed that they had been dead for a long time.
Well, he didn't die recently, so he felt a little more at ease, but he didn't dare to go any further.
As for the woods on the roadside, he didn't dare to go too deep, he only dared to walk in briefly to look for it.
Fortunately, I was lucky today and found two ginseng trees from the woods. The size of these two ginseng seems to be much larger than the 30-year-old one yesterday, and I think it will be no less old.
In addition, he also saw several unusual plants. He didn't know what they were called. He picked them by hand and marked the location where they were found. Chen Xiaobei hurried down the mountain.
As I walked, I was thinking about going into the mountains to find herbs, catch pheasants, and catch fish. Although these things seem to be a busy day, they all have to be sent to the county town, and transportation is a big problem.
